New sea duck Spread

Need to put together a sea duck set for this coming season, I have a clean slate to start from so I would appreciate any advice with regard to manufacturer, quanity and mix. Will be hunting east coast for scoter and eider.

I'm not an expert but know enough to say that if you're hunting north of the Chesapeake you should run 50% scoter, 50% eider. Chesapeake and southward, figure 80-90% scoter.

I think you'd be fine running mostly black scoter, but a few white-wing or surfs on the edges wouldn't hurt.

This is just an uneducated guess.

I took some old Herter's 72 ultimates and turned them into sea ducks replacing all the hardware with 304 stainless. Painting sea ducks is rather easy and I've got zero artistic talent. Even the eider hen is doable if you take a little time...
